I've taken two of my kids here for a Suzuki Toddler Mommy & Me Music class. They do an excellent job! Very talented and knowledgeable instructors, even for the toddler class! It was very beneficial for the kids.

My daughter has loved being apart of GMS. She's had amazing experiences because of it and has grown so much as a musician. We're so grateful she had this opportunity before college.

I have three daughters that have been in the Gifted Music School, two on flute and one with clarinet. The Gifted Music School has helped them each excel as musicians!

We feel lucky to have found GMS two years ago. At first, our kids were just in the children's choir, but we later added voice, violin, and piano lessons. All the teachers are top notch!
